Charles Woodson was the last defensive player to win the Heisman. But he had 2 receiving TD's, 1 rushing and I think he ran back a punt that year. The purely defensive player tag means just that.

Manziel was the first freshman to ever win the award and literally no one even mentioned it. Well, at least before the broadcast of it because I didn't watch the ceremony. Why? Because there was a defensive player from Notre Dame in it.

or maybe because he was essentially running unopposed since no one wants to vote for the defensive player. qb's win all the time, pure defensive players are hardly ever even in the running

Really? Cuz everytime I heard ANYONE talk about the heisman is was that history would be made whether it be a frosh or a defensive player winning one.
